Background

About John Watters

I am an early-career professional passionate about addressing complex challenges through research, analysis, and collaborative problem-solving. With a Master of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy from Columbia University and a BA in Government from Colby College, I bring a strong academic foundation in policy development, governance, and program implementation. Through internships with Clean Tomorrow, Rainforest Partnership, and the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, I’ve gained experience in policy research, stakeholder engagement, and project support across a range of issues. My work has included analyzing incentive programs, contributing to community-based initiatives, and researching global challenges. I am motivated by opportunities to apply my skills, continue learning, and contribute to meaningful, forward-looking solutions.
